Susquehanna Community School District’s 2015-2016 proposed schedule is not yet approved, but it’s on the table for review.  It’s been school policy for at least the last few years to begin with two four-day weeks to ease everyone into the academic mode.  Next school year’s schedule takes it a notch higher with three four-day weeks front-loaded in August/September. With a proposed start on Tuesday, August 25, 2015, the school year would wrap up on May 31, 2016 if no snow days are added to the end of the year. A second innovation to the schedule would be the addition of Veteran’s Day as a day off from school.

The proposed schedule was just one of the issues eye-balled by school directors at their regular monthly meeting and work session for February. President Steven Stanford presided over the February 18th monthly meeting with the school directors Lori Canfield, Jason Chamberlain, Amanda Cook, Evelyn Cottrell, Carol Jackson, Holly Kubus, and Martha Stanford present.  Vice-President Clay Weaver was absent.

February’s meeting was short, appropriately so in consideration of the month’s abbreviated length and the arctic weather seemingly ubiquitous.  But the 7:02 to 7:25 meeting was short for another (and more immediate) reason.  With newly inaugurated Gov. Tom Wolf just installed, the state’s chief executive has dispensation till mid-March to bring his budget before the General Assembly. That being the case, real-world district budget planning can’t take place until the district’s March meeting.  Word on the street is that the Gov. Wolf’s budget will propose significant increases to education spending.  But with both chambers of the legislature controlled by the loyal opposition final budgetary numbers may well be problematic. March will be all about budget numbers. 

Nevertheless, Business Manager Gary Kiernan announced that the district’s plan for debt freedom on March 1st is still right on track. Other business news included Kelly & Associates’ completion of the 2013-2014 audit.  Mr. Kiernan will be in official receipt of the audit shortly and it will come before the Board in March.

Superintendent Stone reported that Strategic Planning Board had met on the evening previous for its second time.  The developing Strategic Plan will be presented to the school board next month for review, with a vote scheduled for May’s meeting. 

Among other items Mr. Stone commented upon was development of a “BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) to school” policy, which if agreed upon later this year, would allow students to bring their own device (laptop, IPAD, etc.) for school usage. Many issues remain to be worked out and the policies of numerous other districts are being reviewed in formulation of SCSD’s future policy. 

Another technological advancement, this one to take effect imminently, is Twitter. Mr. Stone explained that the district’s one-call system does a great job of notifying parents of school closures and delays, but cracks are inevitable in any system, and a few parents inevitably don’t receive notification sufficiently to meet their lifestyle needs. While SCSD has had a twitter account (“@susqsd”) all year, it had never previously been used to give notice of school delays. “We [SCSD] will begin using it now,” said Superintendent Stone. Twitter account-holders may “follow” SCSD as the district tweets situational changes in real time.

Mr. Stone also noted that having issued radios to staff and bus drivers has already paid dividends. He cited the case of an elementary student who “received a bump” on the playground and was sent to the nurse’s office. The supervising teacher notified nursing staff to prepare for immediate treatment of the injured student en route to their office.

Two big issues, both reviewed and thoroughly discussed at the Tuesday work session, were officially decided at Wednesday’s meeting.  The first involved school photos.  Two firms, one in-county, and the second out-of-area, had submitted proposals to be the school district’s photography provider for the 2015-2016 school year.  In the end, Craige’s Photique of Montrose received the Board’s nod by unanimous “ayes.”

The second issue concerned the high school’s bell tower and retaining wall.  No firms had even bid on the bell tower project when it was previously put out to bid.  Firms that had bid on the retaining wall project had submitted vastly different plans which could not be compared because of the wildly different solutions proposed. The Board’s solution was to approve a structural engineering proposal from E.D. Pons and associates at a cost of $6,310.

Superintendent Stone explained that the services E.D. Pons will provide to the school district include “the crafting of appropriate drawings and supervising the bid process for the repair of the bell tower and the retaining wall. Both repairs will be bid as one project.” The estimated cost to the school district for repairs will be in the neighborhood of $56,000.  Mr. Stone stressed that E.D. Pons is handling the architectural side of the project, the bidding process, and actual on-site quality assurance visits at pre-determined intervals; E.D. Pons is not performing the corrective work.  Repairs to the bell tower and retaining wall should commence with the end of this school year.

Finally, Mr. Stone provided the board with information about two administrative concerns: delayed starts and the annual Valentine’s Day Party.  The Superintendent advised “that he may utilize one hour delays instead of two hour delays when dealing with a Wind Chill Warning.”  Secondly, “Due to feedback from the elementary staff and the desire not to have two elementary parties in the middle of winter, the elementary school will cease the school-wide Valentine’s parties and hold a spring party in future years (March/April).”

At 7:27 p.m. the School Board adjourned their 25-minute meeting.  Mr. Kiernan served up a mountain of fresh-baked cookies provided by the students in Melissa Franks’ Life Skills Class.  Well done, students!

Next month’s meeting is scheduled for March 18th, with work session on the evening prior.

On February 18th  the New Milford Township supervisors held their first meeting in the newly renovated building.  A small group met in the comfortable meeting space for the usual brief meeting.

It was announced that the township was in the process of purchasing a new 2015 Mack truck on the CoStars program.  The vehicle was expected to have an 11 foot plow and a spreader.

Mr. Shibley announced that they had received a letter stating that a traffic research project was to be run on selected township roads.  This would mean a rubber hose would be stretched across the road to count the cars.  The reasoning came down to liquid fuels money, the desire was to see if there was enough traffic on the roads to support the liquid fuels money.  The letter said that this study would have a direct effect on the future budget.

A letter had also been received from the Department of Labor and Industry.  It pretty much said that Bill Shigo, the township's Building Codes Officer, was doing his job in regards to the UCC.

Mr. Bondurant related that emergency management had participated with the county two Saturdays ago with a tanker rollover near McDonald's in Gibson.  The incident had pretty much messed up an entire section of Oliver Road, from six o clock in the morning until five o clock at night.  The hazmat team responded, as did a number of fire companies and other entities.  The tanker needed to be pumped out.  The response pretty much went without incident,  he said it was both bad and impressive at the same time.

Mr. Conroy noted that they were waiting for quotes on a new front end loader.  The one they had was five years old.

The February 19th Elk Lake School Board meeting was fairly short.  It was announced that they would not be opening the SCCTC meeting that evening, as originally intended.

A number of sports related letters of resignation were read and accepted with regret during the correspondence section.  Mrs. Teel noted that the board members ought to have received postcards from PSBA regarding the spring legislative meeting.  It was scheduled to be held at Mountain View.

None of the administrators were present, save Dr. Cuomo.  He presented the principals' reports.  Mr. Weisgold had sent him information on events at the elementary.  The science lab was coming along well.  Mr. Good was putting up shelves and the school was looking at what areas funds should be allocated to in order to target specific science standards.  Due to a grant there were also murals being painted in the elementary, designed to focus on the School Wide Effective Behavioral Support program.  The high school art students were working on these murals.  Kindergarten registration was scheduled for March 18 – 20, for the next school year.  Finally, as a result of the impending weather, they had decided to take the following day's schedule of parent conferences and move it to the next week.  Thus the following day was to be a regular school day, dismissing at 3 pm not 11:30.  However, a 2 hour delay had already been decided on

Mr. Mallery had also sent information to be presented to the board, regarding the secondary school.  The student of the month luncheon was scheduled.  The school wished to publicly congratulate LeAnna Farnelli for attending the regional band concert.  She was scheduled to participate in regional orchestra as well.  The Coaches Versus Cancer Campain was called a tremendous success.  The school raised in excess of $20,000 for Coaches Versus Cancer.  Dr. Cuomo said this was a fund drive the community had really taken on, and gotten behind.  He called it an awesome cause.

The proposed 2015-2016 calendar was reviewed.  It had been sent out to the faculty and staff, and the plan was to have it approved at the March 4th meeting.  A few changes were reviewed.  The 2 o'clock dismissal on Wednesdays was still planned, but Dr. Cuomo explained that during inclement weather, if there was a 2 hour delay, it became very difficult to hold school on those days.  Therefore they were looking to have it written into the calendar that if there was a 2 hour delay on a Wednesday, school would automatically be dismissed at 3 o'clock.  Parents would know this, and could plan accordingly.  The school also planned to open before labor day.

The “Baker Street Irregulars” was recommended for the spring play.  It was both a mystery and a comedy.  The performances were scheduled for the weekend of April tenth.

A full-time maintenance position (third shift) and a temporary elementary position in special education were filled.  The latter would not exist after the completion of the current school year.

Under the budget section a lease payment was approved, which Dr. Cuomo said they were hoping, praying, and believing would be the last one for that purpose.  The following Saturday the hookup to natural gas was scheduled.  There might then be a week the district ran a dual system, just in case there was an issue (such as water in the line).  The Saturday hookup was scheduled regardless of the weather.

During visitors' comments, a student, Travis Tewksbury, pointed out a conflict between the date of a fundraiser and the spring play.  The band, AM Radio was scheduled to play one of the nights that the play was also scheduled to be performed.  Dr. Cuomo suggested that the student bring the matter up with Mr. Mallery, and said he appreciated him bringing it up.  The subject had been brought to Dr. Cuomo's attention that afternoon.

Leslie Tewksbury asked what effect the proposed Wednesday delay schedule would have staff in-services (which generally occurred on those early dismissal days).  Dr. Cuomo responded that it would depend on what was scheduled that day;  he felt it was something that could be worked around.  He noted that if the school had to close, they wouldn't have the inservice either way.

A parent asked about announcement of delays and snow days.  She asked if there was a certain time the decision was made by, so that if they didn't see anything by a certain time they could assume there was school.  She said there had been times when the news came later on certain outlets.  Dr. Cuomo said that the latest he had made the call that year was 5:20 am.  He said that on bad weather days they contacted supervisors, the media, the administrators, and the automatic phone system (which probably took the longest).  He had been known to drive to the school around 5 am to see what the roads were like. A lot went on when this happened, he explained.  The board secretary said that sometimes on busy mornings, a station might not update their lists all the time. Mrs. Teel noted that she waited until 5:30, and knew that if that time came and went there was school.  Dr. Cuomo said that he could feasibly wait until quarter to six, but he knew that some of the drivers were out warming up their buses at six, and one driver might be on the road by 6:15, so that was the latest he could wait.  When he made a call he monitored the news to make sure that both Elk Lake and the SCCTC were listed.  He said everyone had a system, and would do their part of the notification in a particular order.  If a parent called in to the phone system, it should tell them about closings and delays as well.

Susquehanna Community School District Board Directors took the following personnel actions during their regular meeting on Wednesday, February 18, 2015.

Approved hiring the following substitute drivers, pending all appropriate clearances: Michelle Lovenduski, Brady Stark, and Angela Hadden. 

Approved hiring Jennifer Johnson as Substitute Bus Driver for the 2014-2015 school year. 

Approved volunteer, Charles Wormuth - Varsity Softball Team, pending all appropriate clearances, for the 2014-15 school year. 

Note to readers: The phrase “pending all appropriate clearances” is directly linked to new state law, effective January 1st, requiring a heightened level of investigative background checks for all volunteers, district employees, and contractors who may come into contact with minors. “Appropriate clearances” are required upon commencement of volunteer/contractual association with the school district and every three years thereafter. It is not only government related background checks which are required, but also a check conducted by the school district with past employers of all candidates.
